Análisis de efectividad y costes sanitarios de la inmunoprofilaxis con autovacuna MV140, vacuna MV140 y tratamiento antibiótico continuado en la prevención de las infecciones urinarias recurrentes / Effectiveness and health cost analysis between immunoprophylaxis with MV140 autovaccine, MV140 vaccine and continuous treatment with antibiotics to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections

Introducción El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los resultados del tratamiento antibiótico continuado, la autovacuna MV140 y la vacuna bacteriana polivalente MV140 de cepas de colección en la prevención de ITU recurrentes no complicadas. Métodos Se analizaron prospectivamente 377 pacientes desde enero de 2017 hasta agosto de 2019 y se dividieron en 3 grupos según la profilaxis administrada. Grupo A (126): tratamiento antibiótico, Grupo B (126), autovacuna MV140; Grupo C (125), vacuna bacteriana polivalente MV140 a partir cepas seleccionadas. Las variables analizadas fueron: sexo, edad, menopausia, número de episodios de ITU al inicio y a los 3 y 6 meses de finalizar la profilaxis, costes sanitarios a lo largo del seguimiento a los 3 y 6 meses. Resultados A los 3 meses, los episodios de ITU se redujeron a 0-1 en el 65% del grupo A, en el 80,8% del grupo B y en el 81,7% del grupo C. A los 6 meses, se presentaron 0-1 episodios de ITU en el 44,4% del grupo A, en el 61,6% del grupo B y en el 74,6% del grupo C. En cuanto a los costes sanitarios a lo largo del seguimiento, a los 3 meses el grupo A registró 21.171,87 euros, el grupo B 20.763,73 euros y el grupo C 18.866,14 euros. A los 6 meses, los costes sanitarios fueron de 32.980,35 euros en el grupo A, de 28.133,42 euros en el grupo B y de 23.629,19 euros en el grupo C. Conclusiones La autovacuna MV140 y la vacuna bacteriana polivalente MV140 fueron más eficaces reduciendo el número de episodios de ITU a los 3 y 6 meses y con unos costes sanitarios menores durante el seguimiento, en comparación con la profilaxis antibiótica continuada (p < 0,05). La vacuna bacteriana polivalente MV140 de cepas seleccionadas fue más eficaz en la reducción del número de episodios de ITU con unos costes sanitarios menores que la autovacuna (AU)

Introduction The objective of this study was to compare the results on prevention of uncomplicated recurrent UTI between continuous use of antibiotics, MV140 autovaccine and MV140 polybacterial vaccine from collection strain. Methods 377 patients were prospectively analyzed from January 2017 to August 2019 and divided into 3 groups according to the prophylaxis. Group A (126): antibiotics, Group B (126): MV140 autovaccine, Group C (125): MV140 polybacterial vaccine from the collection strain. Variables analyzed were: gender, age, menopause, number of UTI at baseline and 3 and 6 months after the end of prophylaxis, health cost along follow-up at 3 and 6 months. Results At 3 months, group A had 0-1 UTI in 65%, group B had 0-1 UTI in 80.8% and group C in 81.7%. At 6 months, group A had 0-1 UTI in 44.4%, group B had 0-1 UTI in 61.6% and group C in 74.6%. Regarding health cost along follow-up, at 3 months group A had €21,171.87, group B had €20,763.73 and group C €18,866.14. At 6 months, health cost was €32,980.35 in group A, €28,133.42 in group B, and €23,629.19 in group C. Conclusions MV140 autovaccine and MV140 polybacterial vaccine were more efficient with lower number of UTI at 3 and 6 months and lower health cost along follow-up compared to continued prophylaxis with antibiotics (p < .05). Polybacterial MV140 vaccine from collection strain had higher effect to reduce the number of UTI and less health cost than autovaccine (AU)

Effectiveness and health cost analysis between immunoprophylaxis with MV140 autovaccine, MV140 vaccine and continuous treatment with antibiotics to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections.

[Infected urachal cyst: report of a new case]. / Quiste infectado de uraco: a propósito de un nuevo caso.

OBJECTIVE: To report a case of infected urachal cyst, with special reference to the difficulty in making the diagnosis due to the low incidence of this condition. METHODS/RESULTS: The embryologic origin of the urachus, its anomalies, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment are discussed. CONCLUSION: A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose this condition with unspecific clinical features. Ultrasound and CT are useful in making the diagnosis. Radical surgery continues to be the first therapeutic procedure.

[Renal hydatid cyst. Report of a new case]. / Quiste hidatídico renal. A propósito de un nuevo caso.

OBJECTIVES: To report an additional case of renal hydatid cyst in a patient who had been clinically asymptomatic despite the significant renal derangement observed at diagnosis. METHODS/RESULTS: Patient clinical history is presented and the diagnostic methods are described. CONCLUSIONS: US, urography and CT permit an accurate diagnosis in most of the cases. MRI has diagnostic limitations in this condition. To date, surgery continues to be the treatment of choice.
